On the first alarm, many small luMps were discovered alongside, but being before the wind, and the weather being very dark, they could not . - see far, but immediately put the helm a-lee, shortened sail, and laid' too at day-light, they were surrounded; with ice,' and saw' • about thirty large bodies of ice, apparently from 100 to 150 feet high above the surface of the water, besides a large number of smeller lumps floating in every direction ;' the brig chafed very much, but an opening of the ice was diseaVered to leeward, where • they had ran in before the wind ; it, however, 'was impossible to get back that way, every means was tried but without success.— , At 10 A. wt. they thought it dangerous to lay too, as in alt pro- • bability. they, might he thrown on some loose ice and founder, they concluded; therefore, to force the brig to leeward, which was ae . complished, and t h ey succeeded in getting out. On the Pith they Were again beset with ice, but by means of a quantity of rigging and junk at the bows, beside ll a great deal of cardwood round the stern, and some spars alongside, they managed to preserve the bri g in a great measure from injury by the ice; being under double reefed topsails and foresail, she was forced through at the rate of half a mile an hour, although some pieces of ice were as long as the brig ; at 6'p. m., it blew a heavy gale froth W.N.W.,. and the was lad to for the night, they handed all sail but the main topsail, which was hove to the mast for the purpose of keeping the brig from running a-head. In consequence of the brig rolling lee • channels upon two large pieces of ice, they were com pelled to sling two round hales of cotton under the chains; she struck very herd on the ice several - times - duiing the day, : and in some places the oakum was chafed (oho hare; at 9 p. in., the vessel drifted faster, and at daylight she was quite clear of ice, although in sight of a great number of-Ice Islands. They then made sail, and steered eastward, and found the cut-water and gripe on the stern damaged ; the bows and sides were also much chafed, and the vessel making a great deal of water. On the 22d they experienced a heavy gale of wind, which increased so much, that they were obliged to lay the vessel to, which laboured and leaked greatly. The brig finally arrived in the Downs on the 11th April, where she experienced a most tremendous gale, in which she lost an anchor and cable ; they however succeeded in bringing her up with the second anchor. in eight fathoms of water.

How can CouUtry Gentlemen best prove their patriotism? A. By taking care of themselves. Q. What constitutes a great, free, and happy people ? A. Two things—Paupers and Cimmry Gentlemen. Q. What is the use of lislation ? A. To make Corn Laws, Poor Laws, and Game Laws; it is no matter what other Laws are passed, provided Country Gentle men are allowed to enact, repeal, and re-enact the above at pleasure. Unfortunately the paper was here torn off, otherwise itwould probably have developed more of the views of these worthies, "the Country Gentlemen," of whose creed it appears to form a part; and it might possibly have explained something of the intended alteration in the Poor Laws, which it is supposed will be brought forward as soon as the Honourable Baronet and his colleagues can prepare their Bill and their speeches ; which latter will, of course, display the usual degree of eloquence and intellect, awl be delivered with the customary degree of gratifica tion to themselves, and annoyance to their auditors. The proceedings of the starving manufacturers and the well-fed country gentlemen, are alike fraught with evil to the country, though the latter was at once the most inexcusable and the most mischievous,---the one is an ebullition, occasioned by deep and bitter distress ---the other, the insolence arising from repletion, while the appetite, vulture-like, seems more insatiate from in dulgence. Vire! acquirit cundo.—Vinc. Both must be repressed for the public good, in which the real in terests of both are inseparably bound up ; and it is to be hoped the Government will not want the firmness to coerce them. I inclose my mite, in aid of the contribution towards the immediate relief of the distressed, which I will thank you to forward to the proper quarter. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, and constant Reader, ANONYMOUS. We shall feel great pleasure in forwarding our Correspondent's Subscription of Ten Guineas to the proper quarter.—Enrron. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY..--(TIllti DAT.) BDENBOROLtaIf y. BISHOP Or LONDON AND OTHERS. His LORDSHIP sat in open Court to-day, notwithstanding it was a holiday, and no other Court open in Westminster Hall. Mr. Soannt appeared as leading Counsel fur the plaintiffs in this case; and his grounds of objection to the Bishop of London inducting Mr. Pratt as Clerk of St. Stephen's Church, Cole man-street, were that the election of a Minister ought not to have been made by ballot; and if it ought, that the ballot had been un fairly taken, otherwise Mr. Foyle would have been elected, and Mr. Pratt would have been rejected. Mr. SHADWELL contra said, it was true some few persons had . voted, with resp ec t t o w h om i t would be impossible to prove for whom they had voted; but taking the case in any way, whether it could be made out for whom the voters had yokel or not, yet it would appear clear that Mr. Pratt had the majority of votes. Mir. SUCIDEN positively denied this. His Lonnsme thought if the case were to rest upon this, it would be bate': for' Mr. Shadwell to proceed to support his posi tion by his evidence. Mr. Suanwrza. submitted that the Court ought first to decide the question, whether the election by ballot wait the proporthode of electing or not. Ills Loaosule said, if all the parties interested agreed to such a node of election, the Court could have no objection to it; but what ho wished to ascertain was, whether there had been a clear alr.Muietlt, legal or illegal, that hound all the cestuique trusts and trustees, that the election should be, by ballot, thus conducted? if tchoitiorctlelavrasa(gbrweeidionyelnt had not b ee n e nt ere d i nto, at present, the of opinion, that the trustees were not bound by the election. And th e ver y principle that led the Court thus to express itself, led it further to say, that there was nothing be fore it enabling it to decide that the neat election of a Minister made at this place would be a good election, unless there was the agreement entered into, which his Lordship bad already alluded to ; and if the next election, so conducted, could not be good, it necessarily followed that the past election was not good. Mr- SliADvcrt.r. was willing to take every course the Court pleased to. point out. His Lonustur observed, that the Learned Counsel would have to take his own course. Mr. SttAuwett. did not know how he could enter into the evi dence without taking the votes one by one. Mr. SuGozx said, there was no other possible way, and to do this would occupy a whole week; but Mr. Shadwell's client, in doing this, would have to pay the clerk.—(A laugh.) Mr. SIIADWELL said there were two causes; he appeared for the defendants to the original bill, and tbr the plaintiffs to the cross bill; perhaps his better way would be, to open his case upon the cross bill, that the Court might be in possession of the whole case. Mr. SUGDNN objected to this. If Mr. Shadwell did not pro ceed with his defence to the original bill, it would be his duty to pray the Court to declare that the election of Mr. Pratt was void. Mr. HUNT, appearing for some of the Trustees, awed, if the Court declared the election which had taken place was void, from the manner the election had been made, the effect would be to de cide, that neither party had been elected, and that neither party was fit to be elected. His Loitnsim would he sorry to make a declaration having such an effect, but still it might be the duty of the Court to do so. If people chose to enter into► absurd proceedings, what could the Court do, when called upon to interfere, but make absurd decrees ? Mr. Szt,inwru. said, no objection had been madeat the timeof the election, to the mode of election adopted, and which had been publicly announced from the pulpit on the preceding Sunday, as being an election that would take place. The strength of hls evi dence was, that there had beer such an agreement to the mode of election adopted as to bind all parties in equity; and that the ma jority of votes were in favour of Mr. Pratt. There had been 97 votes in favour of Mr. Pratt, 95 for Mr. Foyle, and 71 for ano ther Gentleman. The prayer of the cross-bill was, that the four trustees out of the sixteen who are plaintiffs t o the original bill, and all other parties resisting the induction of Mr. Pratt, might be decreed to join in all necessary proceedings for th at gentle man's legal induction. . _ His CORDBIIIP said, if Counsel would hand to him any deposi tions, and any further evidence or important papers, they might hear, in addition to what had been furnished to the Court, he would carefully lOok into them all, and give the best judgment he could on Monday morning. Mr. SUADWELL readily agreed to this, and Mr. Sugden also consenting to it, thus the case rests. SCOTCII CONGREGATION. _ . This other pielpitC;seliis Lordship wished to have been dis cussed, but all the Counsel not being in attendance, it was found impossible to have it gone on with. ItX-PARTE THE NIATT1:11 OF pOWAAD A:SID pines, BANKM• His Loansurr said, h e h a d a ll the books and papers with hiin in this matter, which he intended to have gone through and dis posed of; but Counsel not having been present, it would have answered no good purpose, and thereke his Lordship abstained from doing it. , ROYAL DISPENSARY FOR DISPASES OF TILE EAR.—At the Annual General Meeting of the Go vernors of this Charity, held on Friday last, it ap peared that since the Establishment of the Institution, in 1816, upwards of 6,120 Patients afflicted with Deafness, and other Diseases of the. Ear, have been received, the greater number of whom have been cured or relieved, Strt-:—I shall feel obliged if yOu can inform me whether there is any tmth in the rumour that Sir Thos. Lethbridge or Mr. Wilt shire Benett intend to bring in a Bill to amend the Poor Laws, and enable the manufacturing labourers to be paid from the Poor Rates, in like manner as the agricultural labourers are at present. It is said these worthy gentlemedhave become converts to the po sition laid down in the concluding sentence of your Leading Ar ticle of yesterday, viz. that the interests of the agriculturists and manufacturers. are " essentially the, same," and, in their wisdom, consider this the only means of affording permanent relief to the distressed manufacturers. In sweeping St. Stephen's Chapel yesterday morning, ' the char-woman picked up a.scrap of paper near the seat of the worthy Baronet, of which the following is a copy : Q. Who constitute the British Public? A. The Country Gentlemen. Q. In what does the Public welfare consist ? THE KING'S COURT.

The_ various arrivals from the manufacturing districts this morning give us no accounts of any fresh outrages of importance, and nothing of material interest has occurred. Two or three looms were broken last night at Messrs. Grimshaw and Brace well's, of Barrowford, near Colne ; and at Bradford yesterday, the seat of the celebrated turn-out, there ,was a procession of work people, and some symptoms of excitation were observable. No riot, however, took place, and as ere now au addition to the military force of the district has arrived, I hope there will be none. , This morning it was stated, that manuscript notices for a Meet ing in St. George's-fiehls, in this town, to be held at half-past three this afternoon, had made their appearance, and accordingly the police were on the alert. The whole affair, however, was as insignificant ;uid flat as possible. Scarcely 200 people attended, and of these the larger part appeared to be mere spectators. Two per sons addressed them, and one talked a little sedition, but it did not take well, and was altogether beneath notice. Five dragoons . came in sight, on which the larger portion of the assembly took to their heels; one fellow called out " Stone them," on which a gentleman seized his arm, and asked what he meant by calling on them to stone the soldiers. He ingeniously replied, it was not the soldiers, but the men who were running away from the meeting that he wished to be stoned. There is to-day a decidedly better feeling, as regards-business, both in goods and yarns. The num ber of buyers in the market is great, and a general feeling prevails that there is no probability of any further decline in prices. • (From the Manchester Journal of Tuesday.) We understand that a large proportion of the power-loom fac tories in this town and its immediate neighbourhood, arc already well provided with fire-arms, and other formidable weapons of defence, furnished from the Government stores, at the request of the authorities here, who have strenuously urged the propriety of every owner of such establishments defending his property to the utmost. - This recommendation has been accompanied with an assurance that iwthe mean time every exertion shall be used to aft the earliest possible assistance of the civil and military power. Similar measures will, it appears, be recommended from the highest military authority here, for Adoption throughout the disturbed districts. SECOND EDITION. Journal Office, Tuesday, One o' Clock, P. m. Ag it is of importance that accurate statements should go forth to the world of the unhappy events which at present agitate the manufacturing districts of this part of the country, we made it our business this morning to see gentlemen who came to this day's market from the surrounding district, and front whose accounts we arc enabled to lay before our readers the following particulars. WIGAN. In consequence of a numerous assemblage of persons in Wigan on Sunday last, apprehensions were entertained that some disturb ances might take place, and consequently an txpress was sent off to Manchester for a troop of horse. Accordingly a troop of the Ist Dragoon Guards set off from here, and arrived in Wigan about half-past seven yesterday morning. About nine o'clock last night a mob, consisting of from five to six thousand persons, assembled near the extensive factory of Mr. William Woods, containing 130 power-looms. Mr. Woods, however, had previously been on his guard, and put his premises in a complete state of defence. Six piec e s o f cannon were planted round the factory, and nearly 100 loaded muskets were in readiness to be presented through the windows, Mr. Woods having procured the assistance of all the pensioners about the town and neighbourhood. A troop of the Wigan Ca valry, strengthened by a detachment of the Dragoon Guards, were also placed in en advantageous position; and this formidable array so much intimidated the mob, that on the reading of the Riot Act they rapidly dispersed, having committed no other dama g e than the breaki ng o f a f ew w i n d ows . A t a quarter-past ten tran quillity was perfectly restored. BURNLEY Alqb Tint NEIGHBOURHOOD. At Barrowford, last night, a number of individuals assem bled, and proceeded to the factory of Mr. William Bolton, where they broke two power looms; they then went to the factory of Mr. Grimshaw, where they also destroyed two looms. It may be not amiss to state that these looms had never been used ; they had he , ..n procured by Mr. Bolton and Mr. Grimshaw in order to try how they would answer. The mob proceeded to no other act of violence. At Rawtonetall, yesterday, seven men were taken into cus tody, and having been examined before the Magistrates, were ordered to be sent off to Lancaster to-day. This morning all was quiet, but the constables and the military were nevertheless on the alert. At Bacon on the mad to Burnley, ten men were taken into custody on Thursday, on a charge of being concerned in the riots of the preceding day. They were committed to Lancaster on Friday morning. OLDHAM . AND Tut NEIGHBOURHOOD. Our latest accounts front these places represent every thing to be in a state of tranquillity. PRESTON, BLACKBURN, BOLTON, BURY, CHM LEY, &e. &c. Every thing remains tranquil in these places. Indeed, n a we before observed, such efficient means have been adopted for the defence .of every manufacturing establishment in this part of the country, that the proprietors apprehend no further mischief. Independently of fire-arms, &c. the tops of the factories aro well supplied with large paving stones, which, in case'of attack, would deal destruction on such as • had the temerity to approach the buildings with hostile intentions. MANCHESTER. This town is now restored to perfect tranquillity., nor do we apprehend that it will readily be destroyed. - In addition to time gratifying particulars, we have the plea sure to state, that after very particular inquiries as to the state of this day's market, we are enabled to say there has been a greater demand for goods than there has been for several weeks past. That the state of things may continue gradually to impiove; must be the sincere wish of every real lover of his country, 'From the Leeds Independent of Tuesday, May 2.) SKIPTON. On Tuesday last, the town of Skipton was thrown into a state of alarm, by the arrival of Serjeant-major Smith of the Craven Yeomanry, with orders for the Skipton troop to assemble imme diately, their services being wanted at Clitheroe ; and though it unfortunately happened that the whole of the officers were from home, yet the troop quickly assembled and marched off under the con - inland of the non-commissioned officers. At the same time a messenger went forward to Leeds, for a party of the Dragoon Guards, who arrived at Skipton about half,past twelve, where they ,Malted for half an hour, and then proceeded on their route into the disturbed districts. On Sunday night, at eight o'clock, a dispatch was sent off by Colonel Yorke, from Ottley, requiring the assistance of the Knare.bro' troop ; and although a considerable number of them reside at, and in the neighbourhood ofßoro'bridge, such was their alacrity, that nearly the whole troop was under arms soon after twelve at night. They left Knaresbro' soon after two, and pro ceeded to Otley, where they halted 20 minutes, and then pro ceeded to Bingley, and from thence to Ilkley, (a distance of near 40 miles), where they arrived at noon, apparently little worse for the journey. Indeed their exertions and appearance were such as to call forth the warmest approbation from Lieut.-Col. Yorke.— We believe that a large number of these infatuated men mustered near Bingley about three o'clock yesterday morning, and after wards marched off in regular military array. Whither they were destined we have not learnt. Yesterday, some men having been seen on the hills, between Ilkley and Bingley, part of the troops at the former place proceeded' to I3ingley, with Colonel Yorke at their head, and another party to Otley, at four o'clock. The remainder, we believe, would march to Bingley at five o'clock this morning. ADDINGHAM, (YrsrennAY) 4 &Clock. , s This town at prevent is in perfect quietness. A t roop o f t h e Yorkshire Hussars left here yesterday, for Skipton, but they, were replaced by a party of the sthDragoons from Burley. About six o'clock last night, two men named W illiam Walton and Ha.. ley Eoulds, from the neighbourhood of Heyrcyd, near Collie, were Bent off under _ a military escort to York Castle, charged with being concerned in the attack upon Mr. florsfall's mill here on Thursday last: - . SKIPTON (YESTERDAY'), 5 P. m. It has been reported here very, currently that an attack was to take place on the malls in the neighbourhood of Addingham, and that a large number were assembled upon Rombald's Moor, nea r this place, for that purpose; also that a large number were as. trembled upon. Colne Moss, which rumour, with her hundred tongues, has magnified into ten thotteand, for the same unlawful purpose. As a precautionary measure, the civil authorities of this -town have requested all the respectable inhabitants to come for ward, and be sworn as special constables. The Magistrates at tended at the Black Horse this afternoon, for the purpose of stroaring them in. Two young men, named William Calvert and Richard Ellison, have undergone three examinations before J. N. Coulthurat, Esq., aid the Rev. A. Lister, Clerk, and are re mandedfor another this day, charged with being concerned in the attactuiupon Mr. Atomizes mill, at Gargrave, and breaking the looins therein. - Warrants are in the hands of the I'eaee-officers against four others for the same offence, who have absconded. The Otley troop of Yorkshire Husiars which arrived here yester day from Addiugham, have been suddenly ordered to Ringlet ; they left here about half an hour ago. KEIGHLEY, (YtaxitanAT), 7 P. M. A troop of the Yorkshire Hussars from Bkipton, left here just now for Halifax, having been countermanded from Hingley, to which place they were going. All here remains tranquil. BINGLEY, (I'nl Et:flay), A r. M. The whole of the troops, with the exception of about a &men, under the immediate command of Lieutenant -Colonel Yorke, which arrived here this afternoon from Ilkley, departed hence about half an hour ago to Otley. Notwithstanding many un pleasant reports as to the ultimate object of the rioters, the town remains at present perfectly still. It is said that troops have been sent for to Beildon, a village a few miles distant, but the re port wants confirmation. A messenger has just arrived from Bradford, requiring troops to be sent there; he leaves here im mediately to overtake Colonel Yorke, and the troops under his command. BRADFORD, (LArr NIGHT TEN O'CLOCK.) During the day there have been two assemblies of the work men it► this neighbourhood ; in the afternoon, at 3 o'clock, upon Fairweather-green, and in the evening, about 6, upon Bradford.. moor. After remaining in consultation some time, they began to move towards this place, and by a little diversion to the right the arrived at the mill of Mr. Horsfidl (brother of Mr. Horefall, of Addingliam), called the North Wing Mill. Having nearly surrounded the place, they began pelting stones through the win dows, and otherwise damaged the place. The crowd having con tented themselves with thus wreaking their vengeance on the ma nufactory, retired ; upon which Mr. 11., expecting a further at tack, took prompt measures to prevent their obtaining admission. Masons were immediately set to work to put bars in the windows, a quantity of ammunition, Sec., And stones were carried into the budding, which was otherwise put into a complete state of de leoce, persons being stationed both outside and within. To second these endeavours, messengers were dispatched to the neighbouring• towns for the military, anti the Magistrates proceeded to swear in special constables, which they are at this moment doing. Two troops of the Yorkshire Hussars (about LW) men), un der the command of Colonel Yorke, have just arrived, and about sixty more are expected in little more than an Lour. I E. V E X o i cLOCR. I have just been to the North Wing Mill, which is put into a Complete state of defence. go lately as ten minntss ago, stones have been thrown through the windows. The Special Con stables have begun to parade the town in groups of from ten to a dozen. I forgot to mention that a meeting is said to have been held at Fairweather-Green, so early as three o'clock this morn ing, and that at - one of the meetings this afternoon, it re solved to assemble again on Wednesday morning, at eight o'clock ; but active measures are now taking to prevent this. We understand that the Leeds Troop of Yorkshire Hussars re ceived orders yesterday to hold themselves in readiness. Lieutenant Colonel Yorke commands the Yorkshire Htissars in the absence of Lord Grantham, who is shortly expected to join the Regiment. He (Colonel Yorke) is at present stationed at Ilkley, where he is concentrating several of the troops, to the num ber of from two to three hundred. Expresses have been received in this town from the 'districts re quiring the presence of the military, to quell the riots, 'und the three troops of the Ist Dragroons have marched in succession into Lancashire. At eleven o'clock on Thursday, two troops of the 6th Draron Guards arrived hers by forced marches from Nor wich, and at four o'clock on Friday morning they proceeded from hence fur Burnley. The Otley Troop of the Yorkshire Hussars have marched off to Addingham, and on Friday, the Leeds 'Squad , ron of the same regiment paraded in the area of the Coloured Cloth Hall, but neither they or any of the troops, except that of Otley, have received any marching order. CLASOW, APRIL 29. A great sensation has been produced here by the intelligence of the destruction of the power-loom establishments at Blackburn. The number of the unemployed hand-weavers in this district is steadily increasing ; nor is there yet the slightest reason to. hope for an early termination in their stifferings. Hitherto they have conducted themselves with the most exemplary patience and good sense. It is understood that they have no feeling of hostility to wards the power-looms, to the use of which they ascribe no por tion of the present distress. They are galled, however, at.weing the price.of grain advancing, while their families are pining with hunger, and the bonded warehouses filled with foreign grain, net allowed to be brought to market. Of the power-loom s in this place and. neighbourhood, abort 24300 are wholly unemployed. Several of the ' remaining 'evta bliahments, which have hitherto been going on hull time, are also about to be locked up. They have been accumulatingstOcka of goods of a kind which can he bought Is. per piece below the cost at which. they are produced. TURF INTELLIGENCE EXTRA.
